Barron Scooter Collins, the first cousin of Mychal Bell (of the Jena6), was killed recently after being tasered 9 times over the course of a half hour, while in restraints and police custody.His death certificate labels it a homicide.Is this retaliation or coincidence?

OK, so News Channel 5 says it has learned Collins birth name is Barron Pikes. And he was first cousin to Mychal Bell, of the Jena Six. Scooter died after being in police custody and being tased. The incident prompted over 100 blacks in Winnfield to protest downtown.

The Winn Parish Coroner, Dr. Randolph Williams, actually concluded his report 3 weeks ago and for the past 3 weeks News Channel 5 has been trying to get a copy of the report. Dr. Williams has refused to release anything to the media. But Radio Talk Show Host Tony Brown has provided News Channel 5 a copy of the death certificate. Tony Brown has been in close contact with Scooters relatives. The Pikes gave Brown the death certificate—and permission for him to give it to us.

UltravioletUnderground is:

Conscious (sub?) Culture for the Underrepresented Roots of Everything.

We are subcultural alternative soul. We do not follow the way of the masses. We embrace quality art. We embrace conscious activity. We consider other conscious bloggers to be fam. We don't sweat arrogant and obviously insecure 'elitists'. If it's dope, we will wave our technicolor pom-poms. The world is changing. The blogosphere has proven that. The power is once again where it should be... in the minds and hearts of 'the global people'.

A contract invoice is utilized for every order to ensure a clear vision is worked on from the onset of the project. A complimentary change round is included w/ every order for small-medium changes to your original vision. Any changes after that are charged by the hourly minimum 50., except for freelancer error correction (those remain free, if something has been missed by the artist).See Purple Mag covers and Modern Myth story illustrations in past issues,and/or email a request for the PurplePress kit for further examples.

Guest Ink FaeriesArtists and Scribes with the good worddrop intel our way from time to time...

We keep it relatively balanced round these parts for the benefit of the youth that so few have bothered to consider might be watching in recent times...Naturally art and censorship aren't close friends, and knowing this we aren't ridiculous, but we do frown upon unnecessarily graphic toxins. There's enough of it out there.We dig the artisans who strive to be creative with the language for reviews, grassroots campaigns, multimedia offerings (incl. cross-promotional offerings) metaphysical articles and etc.

We'd loveto connect with our Brothers and Sisters who wield a solid camera and dig conceptual photo stories, create Repurposed/DIY fashions, Wield a fierce illustrating/writing ink or digital pen, and have interest in being part of collective that celebrates the Conscious and Underrepresented through UU, Purple Mag, and other Fly collectives they may wish to co-illuminate in the underground...

Ultraviolet Underground is updated regularly. To receive regular blog feeds,updates and other goodies through the mail, subscribe to the Ultraviolet Underground feedburner mailing list at the top of the sidebar. Privacy is respected.

Donations:We accept them and offer gifts in return ^_^You may receive an energy analysis, energy-related services, repurposed DIY goods, digital media dependent upon availability of any given gift.Inquire within for details. Monies are utilized for overhead in magazine features, grassroots campaign needs, daily bread, and other utilities for ultravioletunderground.com mgmt.

If you have a tablet pc or two or some Navisis products to transform a regular laptop to tablet-mode (so our budding graphic artists can enjoy the ease of drawing on the pc screen while they grow in artistic prowess) to donate or would like to barter and trade (ie. you need a press release, pr assistance, vibrational medicine, creative intelligence, quirky vocals on a track, ad space, or other things we can possibly provide...) feel free to drop us an energy mail: theultravioletunderground@gmail.com

We had to replace the link to the last free Reiki organization because it appears they send guilt-prompting letters for donations stating how many healings you've received after a time (usually after three weeks). It was disappointing to us so we have found a few others that could be of use, where the Reiki healing truly comes from the heart. We are also thinking we will remove our previous post recommending them so no one is misled through our site.

If you're interested in being featured on UU or in Purple Magazine, email pics and a bio that includes how you got started, what inspires you, and what your vision is for your project, movement, or etc. Include any coming events or releases, so they can be included in the writeup.

note: If your hoping to submit a guestpost, you can peep our submission guidelines above for PurpleMag/UU. We heart guest posters who bless the underground, and cross-promote with seriousness for our fellow indies and greenies. We're not fond of procrastination though, so please only contact us if you will follow-through out of respect for our planning time and the importance of our word to the audience.

You can include 'buy' links as well for any projects you have available for purchase.

To send item samples for our review, email us for a physical address through purplemag at gmail.com to make direct contact with a designated reviewer (reviewer availability varies and rotates dependent upon the product focus).Features are not guaranteed, but are most likely to appear if they are indie/grassroots based, and bring something to the table of underrepresented culture and subcultures.

Random Underground Intel

Independent Thought

Dope quote:
"There are no accidents. nothing is random. There are only acts of an invisible higher power that uses very conceivable means to communicate with us on a moment-by-moment basis. We are spoken to in words, in actions, by the language of nature, numbers, colors and the list goes on and on. We can chose to either learn the language of God or ignore. That is what free will is all about."

"We're in an age where moving forward as a people requires a collective choice to heal the rifts of conditioning imposed upon us in our ancestral past. It won't do to embrace the poisons pumped into the minds and spirits of our community. It's time to rise above the corrupted caricatures painted onto the Black community, and reach within ourselves with self love and respect to embrace the purity of self-defined archetypal consciousness, as its the only consciousness that can hold truth."

Underground Dwellers

Yahoo has absorbed Mybloglog. For this reason, we've left them.
Throw Yahoo's name in the search bar at the blog's top left and a couple of posts detailing why should show up.
In short, Yahoo, AT&T, Verizon, AOL and others sharing a creepy bed, have been involved in wiretapping, fighting to dismantle internet freedom, censoring activist emails from members, and well, the list goes on...
Don't trust them.
Sorry Iphone owners. You should get an opensource, open app
